Our Wellbeing service promotes both mental and physical wellbeing by providing telephone support to disabled people.
We provide emotional support as well as practical advice through regular telephone calls as agreed with the person. We may also refer someone to another service for specialised support as appropriate.
These calls aim to reduce isolation and loneliness by providing a listening ear as well as support and advice around coping strategies and ways to stay as well as possible.
Our wellbeing advisers are dedicated to supporting disabled people to cope, feel heard and develop ways to boost their own health and wellbeing.
“Thank you for listening to me this morning, just nice to speak to someone who understands. You have made me feel so comfortable to talk.”

In addition to telephone support, we run a number of online wellbeing activities such as Mindful Meditation and Wellbeing Wednesdays.
“Thank you for listening, it really makes a difference to me to feel so supported and I know that if I want to contact WB in between times I can do that.”
